SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 586,985, dated July 27,1897.

\ Application iiled J'uly 2, 1896. Serial No. 597,863. (No model.)

T0 all whom t may concern:

Be it. known that I, EDGAR ERNEST WOI- SARD, a' citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of Pittston, county of Luzerne, and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inWaxing- Pads, of which the following is aspeciiication, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which'similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to improvements inA waxing-pads, the object ofthe invention being to provide a handy device of this character which isso constructed as to be adaptablefor effectually Waxing and polishingthe surface of a sad-iron without the necessity of handling the pad,whereby danger of burning the fin gers of a user is obviated. The devicefurther embodies a durable sad-iron holder which can be used after thepad is used up or which can be recharged with a fresh pad.

The invention will be hereinafter fully described, and specifically setforth in the anneXed claim.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciiication, Figurel lis a plan view of my improved device. Fig. 2 is a side elevationthereof. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the metallic sad-iron holderforming part of my device. Fig. 4L is a perspective View of thewaxing-pad removed from the holder. In this view a portion of the casingforming part of the pad is broken away; and

' Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional elevation on a line @c of Fig. 2.

In the practice of my invention I provide, primarily, a metallic plateA, which has the general contour of the surface of an ordinary sad iron.This said plate has extended around its edge a iiange a and is providedWith legs a. Engaging with this said plate or sad-iron holder is a padB, which comprises a base b, of Wood, a iilling O, of wax, and a casingD, of fabric, preferably of course heavy canvas. 'The pad B ispreferably strengthened around its edge portions by means of a resinouscoating C', which comprises, preferably, a mixture of resin and parafnin the proportions of two parts of paraffin to one part of resin. Thisis to prevent the pad from collapsing at the edges quicker than at thecenter.

The fabric covering or casing D is preferably secured to the pad bymeans of pins d., which pass into the wooden base b.

To add a iinish to the pad, a binding E is supplied thereto, which saidbinding has a loop e projected therefrom adapted for use in suspendingthe device from a nail or hook.

, As a means for fastening the pad to the Aholder the said pad isprovided with strings of narrow webbing or other suitable material F,which said strings are to be tied beneath the holder A, as illustratedin Figs. 2 and 5 of the drawings.

In the operation of the device in order to wax the surface of an iron itis simply necessary to pass the heated iron over the upper surface ofthe fabric casing D, whereby the Wax moves through the meshes of thefabric and adheres to the surfaces of the iron. This operation may becontinued until all the wax contained in the pad is exhausted.

Having thus described my invention', what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of a metallic holder shaped to conform to the contour ofa sadiron, provided with legs, and having an upwardly-extended iiangeprojected around its edge, with a pad comprising a wooden block, afilling of wax and a casing of fabric, a resinous compound applied tothe edge of the Wax, means for securing the fabric to the block and forsecuring the pad to the holder, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname, in presence of two Witnesses, this 24th day of June, A. D. 1896.

EDGAR ERNEST WOISARD.
